Ghost of Yōtei is slated to receive a Complete Edition expansion on October 1, adding a new story and a survival mode. Sony has reaffirmed the game's PS5 exclusivity in a video, following reports that SIE stopped planning PC versions for major single-player titles.
Sony released a video on August 24, 2026, titled "Only On PS5 | PS5 Games," which lists Ghost of Yōtei among several titles presented as PS5 exclusives. The video follows a March 2026 Bloomberg report citing internal sources that SIE had stopped planning PC versions for major PS5 single-player games. That report named Ghost of Yōtei as one of the titles remaining console exclusive, alongside SAROS, while online games like Marathon continued as multiplatform releases. SIE has not issued an official statement confirming a policy shift, but the video arrives after signals including the removal of PC references from official materials.
Separately, an Automaton weekly roundup dated August 16, 2026, reports that Ghost of Yōtei's Complete Edition expansion is dated for October 1. The expansion adds a new story and a survival mode to the game. The roundup frames this as part of a busy fall season for Japanese game news, with the expansion landing alongside the announced FPS AVA RE:BIRTH.
The two stories together establish Ghost of Yōtei as a central PS5 title in Sony's current single-player strategy, with an expansion due this fall and renewed emphasis on its console exclusivity. Sony's video drew anger from overseas gamers over the discontinuation of physical disc versions, according to the coverage of the video's comment section.

Sony Interactive Entertainment released a video titled "Only On PS5 | PS5 Games" on the official PlayStation YouTube channel on August 24, 2026. The video presents a lineup of titles as PS5 exclusives, including the already released Astro Bot, SAROS, Gran Turismo 7, and Ghost of Yōtei, alongside upcoming releases such as Marvel's Wolverine and God of War Laufey. The video displays the phrase "PLAYSTATION 5 EXCLUSIVE" for each game. This follows a March 2026 Bloomberg report citing internal sources that SIE had stopped planning PC versions for major PS5 single-player games, with Ghost of Yōtei and SAROS remaining console exclusive while online games like Marathon and MARVEL Tōkon: Fighting Souls continue as multiplatform releases. SIE has not issued an official statement confirming a policy shift, but the video arrives after several signals pointing in that direction. Game*Spark previously reported that PC development mentions have disappeared from PlayStation Studios studio descriptions and that Sony's annual report removed references to "PC and other multiplatform" from its gaming segment. The video's comment section is largely filled with anger from overseas gamers over the discontinuation of physical disc versions.
